Question oil leak

I am getting my first oil leak coming from near the front of my truck. It seems to be leaking from the injector pump is this possible and is it fixable?

I'd think the vacuum pump would be a more likely culprit. Mine's leaking, but it hasn't gotten bad enough to drop oil on the driveway yet.

Look closely and feel around under your injector pump for oil. If you don't see any there, check the under side of the coupler adapter between the vacuum pump and power steering pump. If you find oil there the seals probably leaking. It's repairable for a lot less that replacement. Do some searches on this site for 'vacuum pump' for more info.

I have seen two 12v CTD's leak at the inspection cover on the side of the pump. It is very difficult to see so look close with a bright light.
